"Absolutely brilliant" - Carlos Danger

You can put that one in as a marketing thing.

Great adaptation with the theme! (I think this is the only game I've played so far that is not, in some way based around a timer.) Interesting twist on classic RPG fighting mechanics as well.

@Canobie: I initially wanted the marketing part to have multiple quotes chained together. If I ever make a post Ludum Dare version I'll most likely have it use many different quotes and fit those in somehow as a combo.

@carlsommer: Glad you liked the theme adaptation!

Overall, this game makes me glad that I do not pay someone to bludgeon me to sleep every night...

Cool concept. Depending on luck for the skill rerolls is a bit frustrating though... Still, nice job!

Sleep consultant... I could use one of those!

I really liked this - very clever. Even though my clients are rather ungrateful for killing me if I fail, I found myself trying again and again.

Sleepy Sam swayed at me :(. Liked the idea of pummeling someone until they sleep at their request.

Original idea and really fun! Since I'm a bit of a loser though I had to type "statistics.setPopularity(999999999);" in the console and one-hit kill all the clients. :P

Since the first client causes no damage and there's no penalty for failure, stealing is a bit exploitable and then I powered up insanely and murdered everyone, haha. Never mind the balance though - it's a funny and original idea, great entry overall. :)

I also liked the theme! Very original!

the whole idea of beating up people to make them sleep is lol. you also seem to have put a lot of thought to game design.

I have been killed by my client! Hilarious game :) Very nice.

Reminds me of classic BBS door games like Caveman Wars and Food Fite. I also echo the complaint about the random skill rerolls rather than a predictable upgrade path, but except for that it's quite good!

Really funny background story for a turn-based fighting game. And the game itself is quite addictive. I like it! :D

Interesting set up of theme, but weird in some ways :)

I guess now I know what it is that sleep consultants do.

I had a laugh with this one. It's weird at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was quite fun!

good job

Surprisingly fun game! After getting a hang of the mechanics I absolutely crushed all who opposed, though. It ended sooner than I wanted it to.

Who's up for 28 ATK, 17 Heal, and 48 uses?
